(from DaimlerChrysler Press Release) The finalists of the “What Can You HEMI®?” contest saw their drawing board dreams become HEMI-powered realities today. Chrysler Group unveiled full-size, operational versions of each of the five HEMI inventions for the first time in Chelsea, Mich., at its proving grounds. The grand prize winner wins a HEMI-powered Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge vehicle.

All five finalists, whose entries were chosen from among hundreds submitted throughout the U.S. and Canada, were on-hand to see their outrageous HEMI-powered ideas.

What Can You HEMI?” finalists include:

• HEMI® Snowblower – Tim Flucht, Belleville, Mich. – armed with 345 horsepower and 375 foot pounds of torque, custom precision drive shaft and wrist tether for quick shut-off, this one-of-a-kind snowblower will get the job done faster than any other

• HEMI® -Go-Round – Jonathan Brzon, Topeka, Kan. – the engine generates enough power to spin the turntable in a 22-foot circumference at a maximum speed of 8 rpm, while most carousels only do about 4 or 5 rpm

• HEMI® Trike – Marcus Braun, Vancouver BC – uniquely designed with a custom 4-foot wheel and Goodyear slicks to keep it stable under heavy acceleration … it’s childhood fun … super-sized

• HEMI® on Ice – Dan Burg, Lindenhurst, Ill. – the propane-powered engine of this ice resurfacer has been replaced with a HEMI engine, pumped up with Mopar performance headers and a Borla exhaust system and customized with a Dodge Viper seat for the operator

• HEMI® Shredder – Randy Fredner, Earlysville, Va. – industrial strength can tear up a full ream of paper, CDs, phone books … you name it, it shreds it

Marcus Braun of Vancouver, BC, was named the grand prize winner today for being the mastermind behind the HEMI Trike, an adult adaptation of a childhood toy powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine.

Just frame a wall whatever size you want and sheet it with half inch plywood. Build the wall and then work on some bracing. It's not hard if you have any carpentry skills.

30 minutes? I call BS. It would take 30 minutes alone just to lay out your radius and cut it out with a jigsaw. Then you have to notch each side for the 2X4's to fit. That's the right way to do it..... not just screw the sides to the 2X4's. I have been a carpenter for years and it took me about an hour to build my ramp. With you having to ask questions on how to build a wall.... I highly doubt you are as fast as I am.

It's 100 times stronger if you notch the sides.


As far as your wall... just do what I said. Frame a wall, sheet it, and stand it up with some temporary bracing to hold it up while you build the permanet bracing. With the size of wall you want/need.... it'd be best to have a friend help ya.
